An educator's guide to sustainability with young learners

Light it Up!

Exciting news: by the end of this month, Brooklyn Children’s Museum will have 6 new exhibits on the floor all about sustainability here at the museum. As a cool preview, come to the museum this Sunday, December 11th for Light it Up!, a program about circuits and solar energy.

This program, appropriate for ages 4+, lets kids experiment with circuits, conductivity, and sources of energy, using supplies found at a local hardware store. Brooklyn Children’s Museum uses solar panels for part of our energy and we want kids to really see solar panels at work!

If you can’t make it this Sunday, the program will be offered again a few times in the upcoming months, on December 26th, February 19th and February 20th.

… and don’t forget to come visit later in December to see our new museum exhibits about solar energy, the process of recycling, bamboo flooring, geothermal energy, and water conservation!
